OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Luckily we are able to drive in-we are from Ohio. We are taking a mini-van and bringing both sets of grandparents. We have two who will be watching the live stream from the hotel and then four of us will be going in. We are staying at the Lodge on base. I am so excited for him and can't wait to see him. I was able to drop a letter in the mail today for him. Even though his time to reply is limited there is something comforting in knowing he knows we are thinking of him and our proud of him.

We are from Indiana originally and several of our family will be driving in to see our son after PIR. We have checked the mail everyday waiting for a letter, we try and send him letters often.

Where at in Indiana?That is were my husband and I are from. The grandparents still leave in the houses we each grew up in. My family is from Cambridge City and his family is from Connersville Indiana.
If I remember from an earlier post you said your son was going to Florida-that is where our son is head at too. From what I have been reading and learning doesn't sound like we will have a lot of liberty with our children. However, any time we will take-can't wait to see him.

What a smaill world. We are from Hagerstown IN, our son was born in Richmond IN. We lived in Connersville for awhile.
The short liberty is a pain. We plan to stay over until Sunday so we can be with him at the airport on Saturday. Everything on line said there is a USO at the airport we can use until he flies out.

If your husband went to school in Connersville he may have been in school with me. I was there from 4th through 8th grade.

Wow it is a small world. My husband's dad and step mom live in Connersville and his mom and stepdad lived in Milton Indiana so he actually went to school with me in Cambridge City. Growing up I had family from Hagerstown as well.
We are also planning on staying over until Sunday as well-we had thought the same thing go to the Airport and utilize the USO. I am gladly for what time we are going to get with him.
